22 THE ASHBURIAN and the score was taken to 186 before another wicket fell. The Ashbury bowlers now began to assume command; wickets fell fairly regularly and in spite of some good strokes by Mr. Harry Southam, the innings closed for 212, quite a creditable total. Ashbury opened with Southam and Gausden, and batting steadi- ly took the score to 16, when Southam played over the top of a good length ball from Mr. Gausden and was bowled. Oppe joined Gaus- den and a really good stand followed. They naturally took no risks as a win was out of the question, but both played the correct game under the circumstances. When the score had reached 62, Oppe was bowled by Mr. Wright. Irvin followed in and another good partner- ship seemed likely when Irvin was run out by a return from deep third man, 82 for 3. Fauquier came next and stayed some time with Gausden, being eventually bowled at 106. There was not much time left and all Ashbury could do was to try and save the game. Mac- Brien was quickly caught at the wicket, and two further wickets fell for the addition of seven runs, but Wilson defended resolutely and succeeded in keeping his wicket intact, so stumps were drawn with the score standing at 126 for 7. Gausden had played a good innings and carried out his bat for a very sound 55.

ASHBURY vs. THE FATHERS This match postponed from the previous Saturday owing to rain was played on Monday, June 11th. The Fathers won the toss and decided to bat first. Mr. Gausden and Mr. Bonnar gave them an excellent start. The Ashbury bowlers were inclined to be erratic and did not keep their usual length, so the score mounted fairly quickly, but the Fathers ' first pair batted very well and, aided by two lives in the field, were not separated until the score had reached 91, Mr. Bonnar being then caught in the slips by Oppe. At 110, MacBrien brought Mr. Gausden ' s innings to a close by holding on to a good catch. He had given a delightful display of free hitting all round the wicket. Lunch was taken shortly after- wards with the score standing at 116 for 2. When play was resumed Mr. Wright and Mr. Whitfield took the score to 136, when the latter was bowled. Mr. Brodie joined Mr. V right and another good stand followed. Both batsmen hit freely
